phenology

Larvae in May-July and August-October (Hering, 1957a).

BENELUX

BE recorded (De Bruyn & von Tschirnhaus, 1991a).

NE De Meijere’s (1925a) description of the larvae doesn’t mention the origin of the material; probably it came from abroad, because he did not include the species in his checklist of Diptera of the Netherlands of 1939. Found at several localities (Ellis).

LUX recorded (Ellis, 2002: Kautenbach, Clervaux).

distribution within Europe

From Belgium to Poland, Moldavia and Roumenia; possibly also in the UK (Fauna Europaea, 2007).

larva

Described by Dempewolf (2001a) de Meijere (1925a). Rear spiraculum with three papillae; the posterior one not conspicuously enlarged or curved; this separates both A. lamii and morionella from A. labiatarum, by far the commonest Amauromyza on Lamiacae.
